Iron Maiden have released a video showing the band discussing their current Legacy Of The Beast tour.
They're on the road across the US and Canada on the second leg of the tour, which debuted in Europe in 2018.
Guitarist Dave Murray says: “It’s been fantastic. We’re several dates into the tour and we’re having a blast. Every show has been fantastic – the crowds especially have been wonderful.
“The vibe is electric and that transfers across the rest of the US. Everywhere we play, the fans come down and we just connect and there’s a great atmosphere.”
Drummer Nicko McBrain adds: “It’s funny. You can stop and not play for up to a year, and then you all get back in the room and it feels like yesterday.
“I had a little trepidation, but once we started rehearsing it was great. It’s great to be back.”
The video also features interviews with frontman Bruce Dickinson, bassist Steve Harris and guitarist Adrian Smith. However, it would appear in the clip that the interviewer was having a bit of trouble locking down guitarist Janick Gers for a few words!
Maiden’s next show will take place on Thursday night (August 22) at Chicago’s Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre. The band will also play shows in South America in October.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Iron Maiden would release a pair of collectible figures showing their mascot Eddie in his Fear Of The Dark and Somewhere In Time guises.
